Xu Ran first said to Cui Hua and Aunt i, "I know what you want. I really like this Beast Hide, so your Matchmaker Village has the qualifications for Body Refining, but all the materials need to be prepared by yourselves."
"Body Refining qualification is once a year, with only ten people each ti."
Aunt i was very excited upon hearing this, "Good, good, as long as we have the qualification, we can prepare the materials ourselves."
After saying that, Xu Ran looked towards Master Yang.
"Master Yang, I’ve heard that your Cast Iron Village is entirely made up of blacksmiths?"
Master Yang nodded, "That’s right, the ironware of all villages in the Great Mountain is forged by our Cast Iron Village, and all the adult n in the village can forge iron."
Xu Ran nodded and asked, "The power required for forging iron must be very high, right?"
"It requires not only power but also endurance."
Then Xu Ran turned to look at Old Qi.
"Old Qi, don’t the people refining their bodies in the village find that their weapons are becoming unusable?"
Once Xu Ran said this, everyone knew what he wanted to do.
Old Qi nodded, "Originally, the machetes, long spears, and various hunting weapons that every household had have all been severely damaged."
Xu Ran nodded again and looked at Master Yang, "Master Yang, from what my father has told , the stronger the power of the blacksmith himself, the higher the hardness and better the quality of the weapons they forge, of course, appropriate materials are also needed."
"Although everyone in our Great Wilderness Border Village engages in Body Refining, the weapons crafted by your Cast Iron Village are no longer suitable. We need to change weapons for better hunting and improvent."
"I am willing to provide the Body Refining Manual for everyone in your Cast Iron Village and can also help prepare the Beast Blood and various materials needed for Body Refining, on the condition that you help each of us create a handy weapon."
This was Xu Ran’s objective.
To let everyone in Cast Iron Village refine their bodies, improve their strength, and then get better-quality weapons from them, enabling people in the Great Wilderness Border Village to hunt higher-level Demon Beasts and improve themselves. This is a cycle that’s beneficial to both parties.
For Cast Iron Village, this is undoubtedly a good thing, and it’s a great thing, so Master Yang imdiately agreed.
"No problem, our Cast Iron Village will definitely help you forge the best weapons."
"Little Ran, what about people from the other villages?" Old Qi asked.
They ca all the way to the Great Wilderness Border Village just to get the Body Refining Manual!
Even if Xu Ran doesn’t agree, they will keep coming for it, and it’s not good to drive them away.
Xu Ran laughed, "This is simple, give them the original Body Refining Manual, and explain the conditions for Body Refining to them."
Old Qi and Xu Binghu laughed, "You’re smart, Little Ran."
As soon as they said this, Little White returned from the Great Mountain, holding two goats in its beak.
"Just in ti, Little White is back, let’s prepare, we can have dinner..."
At night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
After dinner, Xu Ran sat cross-legged in the middle of the courtyard, holding the Beast Hide given to him by Old Qi and Aunt i, and carefully contemplated.
"The only commonality between the two pieces of Beast Hide is their identical texture, and I have an inexplicable feeling towards them."
Even at night, the runes on the two pieces of Beast Hide were clearly visible.
The runes twisted and turned, like a giant python coiled in the air, except one sheet had only the head, and the other only the tail.
After thinking for a bit, Xu Ran’s eyes lit up, "It seems that these two pieces of Beast Hide were originally one piece, but for so reason, it was split into two."
With this idea, Xu Ran continued to carefully examine them.
He discovered that the edges of the two pieces of Beast Hide matched perfectly, and could be seamlessly connected, and even the content on the Beast Hide could be joined together.
Xu Ran combined the two into one piece of Beast Hide, and under the moonlight, the runes on it emitted a faint white glow, and those runes transford into a flood dragon flying in the air.
The white scales were incomparably noble.
Around the flood dragon, wisps of wind lifted its massive body, and at the sa ti, a breeze inexplicably blew around Xu Ran.
As the breeze rose, the flood dragon depicted by the runes began to float up and down, as if swimming in the air.
Seeing this, Xu Ran was amazed, "This Beast Hide actually undergoes such a transformation?"
"With the blessing of the moonlight and breeze, the runes can actually move!!!"
Xu Ran had never seen such a scene before.
But he quickly cald down, with a faint golden hue emitting from his eyes.
"Oh!" Xu Ran discovered the secret within the Beast Hide, "The flood dragon and breeze depicted by these runes seem to contain the power of wind?!"
Thinking of this, Xu Ran imdiately closed his eyes, and suddenly, the Celestial Acupoint between his eyebrows erged, and his whole being seed to imrse in a mysterious mood.
After a short while, while Xu Ran was unaware, breezes from all directions swept over and rged into his body, as if they were symbiotes, intimately connected.
Simultaneously, the runes on the Beast Hide emitted a faint white glow, and the flood dragon ford by the runes appeared in the darkness, its white eyes staring closely at Xu Ran.
This continued for a quarter of an hour.
Suddenly, Xu Ran opened his eyes abruptly, eting the gaze of the phantom white flood dragon, where infinite information was contained within the gaze of the pale golden eyes eting the white eyes.
This gaze transcended ti, transcended space, reaching to the depths of the soul.
"Woosh woosh woosh----"
Breezes blew, and the Innate Qi within Xu Ran also beca increasingly active, flowing through every ridian and pore of his body, opening them up.
At this mont, Xu Ran could clearly feel that the breeze skimming his body surface seed to have consciousness.
When he had this realization, the white flood dragon vanished, the Beast Hide returned to its original dullness, and everything returned to normal.
"I seem to have a new insight into the wind..." Xu Ran was sowhat unsure.
"Woosh woosh woosh---"
At this mont, a gust of wind blew, and Xu Ran sensed many things from this wind.
The most crucial of which was that he could perceive danger through the wind.
According to the Beast Hide’s record, this skill is called---Sll Wind Skill.
Although the Celestial Acupoint could also sense danger, from the past few days, except for the perception when being targeted by the Snake King, there was no other danger perception.
However, the Sll Wind Skill can sense the scent of prey and danger through the wind.
In Xu Ran’s knowledge, where would there be no wind? The answer is nowhere; everywhere has wind.
That ans the Sll Wind Skill can be used anywhere, it can sense prey and foresee danger. This could already be considered a Divine Skill.
Moreover, even if one day, a place has no wind, Little White can flap its wings to create wind for sensing danger.
"The Sll Wind Skill kind of fills in the thods I was lacking in the Great Mountain."
Upon learning about the Sll Wind Skill, Xu Ran imdiately had so ideas and wanted to experint right away.
Nightti was when the wind was strong.
He imdiately closed his eyes, using his body to perceive the flow of wind.
The night wind touched every inch of Xu Ran’s skin, and with his eyes tightly shut, every pore of his body seed to open, feeling the words of the wind.
"Swish swish swish---"
The sound of the wind echoed by his ears.
To others, this sound was rely the ordinary sound of the wind blowing, moving leaves and grass.
But to Xu Ran, this "swish swish swish" sound included all the information of the wind, the experiences of the wind skimming over each living thing.
"A hundred ters east of the village, there’s a nest of rabbits coming out to forage at night."
"A hundred ters west of the village, the rice paddy fields lack water."
"A hundred ters south of the village, within a seven-ter-wide river, a fish demon is about to achieve enlightennt."
"A league north of the village, a large pack of wolves is gathering. It seems they have been driven out, indicating another change in the Great Mountain."
